[Trading and Investing Pros] [This is happening NOW: Canada's new law may have just handed you a shot at millions]( On June 19, Canada wrote themselves into marijuana history - and this unprecedented decision is expected to unleash [the profit opportunity of a lifetime](. After both the House of Commons and the Senate approved the Cannabis Act, 90 years of prohibition has officially come to an end. This means the early investors who strike now have the chance to mint millions. But even a few hours delay could cost you thousands in potential gains. [Click here for all the details](. --------------------------------------------------------------- June 30, 2018 Latest Research In the Media [Facebook and Drones: What Could Go Wrong?]( [Watch the full video here.]( There Are Two Market-Crushing Outperformers Hiding in Amazon and Netflix's Shadow By Chris Johnson Dear Reader, Recently, I talked about the incredible strength in consumer-discretionary stocks, as represented by the Consumer Discretionary Select SPDR ETF ([NYSE Arca: XLY]() - that's the best "one-stop shop" play on the power of the U.S. economy. But, even better, I've just wrapped up some "Best in Breed" analysis on two overlooked stars. They've been eclipsed by XLY heavyweights like Amazon.com Inc. ([Nasdaq: AMZN]() and Netflix Inc. ([Nasdaq: NFLX](), but only because the companies that put the "F" and "N" in "FANG stocks" get all the attention. Trust me: The stocks I'm about to name are not shy in the profit-making department. In fact, one of them just threw off a quick 67% profit for my [Night Trader]( subscribers who were following along. But we're nowhere near done... This Is Doing More Than 6x Better Than XLY Itself TripAdvisor Inc. ([Nasdaq: TRIP](), the online travel review and booking site, is the company that treated my subscribers so well. And I think it'll do the same for you, too. Yesterday, I showed a relative-strength chart of XLY blowing away the S&P 500. MARKETS TANKED but Chris' readers got the chance to score winning 40.42% gains on CSCO and 32.93% on SKT - on top of last week's double- and triple-digit wins. [Click here to learn more...]( In the same vein, the chart below shows Trip Advisor crushing XLY's impressive performance in 2018. The stock is up a whopping 65% (much better than Amazon, by the way) so far this year, compared to the XLY's 10.5%. [trip vs xly] Currently, the shares are rebounding after pulling back from an all-time high reached last week. The 20-day moving average is in play as support, while the 50-day moving average is rapidly ascending to lend a hand should the shares weaken. Interestingly, Trip Advisor experienced a similar pullback in May before racing higher to hit a succession of new highs nearly every day. [Trip Advisor Chart] The thing I really love about Trip Advisor, though? You guessed it: short interest. TRIP shares are absolutely coated with (unwarranted, misplaced) skepticism. Short interest increased 5% last reporting period, raising the stock's short-interest ratio to 9.0. Not only is that above my threshold for a short squeeze kicking in, it also is the highest ratio among all XLY stocks. And we're talking about the second-best performer in XLY in 2018, behind only Netflix. Negativity is also seen on the Street, as just one of 25 covering analysts rate TRIP a "Buy" - just one. I don't know what chart those guys are looking at. Maybe they've been on vacation (booked through Trip Advisor). But, whatever the reason, analyst upgrades have to start flowing in at some point, which will give the stock even more of a boost. It's an immediate buy. Trip Advisor reports earnings on Aug. 1, so I'd consider buying the TRIP Sept. 21, 2018 $57.50 call (TRIP180921C00057500) to allow plenty of time for the shorts to unwind and the upgrades to come pouring in. We're Playing This Star for Double-Digit Profits My second play is on a stock that is currently open in [Seismic Profits Alert](. It's on apparel manufacturer Hanesbrands Inc. ([NYSE: HBI](). Unlike TRIP, Hanes is lagging XLY in 2018 performance, having gained less than 5% this year. But I'm not looking at the whole year; I'm focused on the past two months, during which the stock has rallied as much as 38%. In the process, the shares have raced past all potential moving average support and are now set to challenge their 2018 high above the $23 level. More importantly, the 50-day moving average is now in a strong uptrend, a signal my "Best in Breed" system keys on for bullish plays. [Hanes Chart] Hanes is facing similar skepticism to Trip Advisor, with the short-interest ratio registering a robust 8.0. This clearly makes Hanes vulnerable to a short-covering rally. And fewer than half the covering analysts consider Hanes a "Buy," leaving ample room for upgrades. Hanes also reports earnings on Aug. 1, so it's smart to buy before then. But I prefer to go beyond the report with a call option. But Hanes doesn't have a September series, so we'll go with the in-the-money HBI Aug. 17, 2018 $21 call (HBI180817C00021000) to leverage the expected upside. This has been a great week to be a "Best in Breed" investor; we've seen it identify weak stocks to short and incredibly strong stocks in strong sectors to get long on. And, even better, the system doesn't give a damn about the headlines, either, so it's great at uncovering under-loved and overlooked stocks that do as well (or better) than the marquee names. Way Too Many People Missed Out on This U.S. stocks took a vicious beating on Monday - indices were slammed with the biggest one-day drops for months - double- and triple-digit losses across the board, as the VIX "fear gauge" rocketed 25%. Of course, this much was on the news... What didn't make headlines were the two urgent alerts Chris Johnson sent to a small group of subscribers that day, with precise instructions for scoring a winning 40.42% on CSCO and 36.92% on SKT. This is in addition to last week's 50.60% and 560.40% on SPRT and 45.45% on NDLS. If you got those alerts, there's nothing you need to do. You're set. But... if you missed out, you'll want to [click here]( to learn more about how Chris' system works... --------------------------------------------------------------- You May Have Missed... [The "Tariff Tantrums" Will Blow Over]( There was no shortage of illogical geopolitical leadership on display: The U.S. and Chinese presidents (with some European Union officials thrown into the fray for good measure) exchanged barbs about [tariffs that sounded more like pregame locker-room posturing]( than international statesmanship. And so, with that triumvirate of market-rocking news, the major U.S. indexes had their biggest down day since the last tariff tantrum on May 29th. So the big question before every investor this week is: Is this all coincidence? Or is the "Trump growth" narrative asserting its dominance? I think it's the latter, and I'll show you [why that's important with a few charts here...]( [Bloomberg's announcement just shook the cryptocurrency world to its core]( With the launch of their Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index, this global powerhouse has added themselves to the ever-growing list of institutional investors diving headfirst into this new age of investing.

Thanks to new innovations that have slashed the cost of solar technology has from over $76 per watt to as low as 2.42 cents per kWh - a staggering 99.97% reduction in cost - this source of fuel occupies a prominent position in the nation's energy landscape.
